Windows 10: Cloned and moved windows to new SSD while having the bootloader in GNU GRUB, now windows...

Further details: when the windows bootloader is selected in either UEFI settings or GNU GRUB it brings me to a blue screen of death that reads: "Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or cannot be accessed"I had formatted the original windows partition in Linux after I had finished copying the drive. None of the button keys do anything, and all bring me back to my motherboards bios loading up. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Preferably without reinstalling windows!

:)

 

How to uninstall GNU GRUB without windows live USB

I have installed Ubuntu on my HP Pavilion laptop, Now I want to remove ubuntu, I have deleted the partition on which UBUNTU was uninstalled and I am left with the GNU BootLoader alias GNU GRUB.

Can you please help me to uninstall GNU GRUB.

 

Moving to SSD. Clone or not to clone?

I kinda agree with you, but on a wholr, do not. While I have done things a bit differently than this specific situation, by installing Windows directly to the SSD, and cloning after, my testing shows that there are no issues doing this, very little that can go wrong, provided your system is stable.

There are certain features that must be disabled in this situation, like auto defrag and such, but even with a fresh install to the SSD, you need to take steps to ensure that you SSD performs properly, regardless of how the data got there.

Arming yourself with a bit of knowledge can go a long way.

Installing the latest chipset driver, and the RST Tools, will ensure optimal performance of the SSD. but rather than taking my advice, I suggest the OP takes a look here:

Install A Solid State Drive In Your Notebook

Keep in mind, also, Digibucc, that many retail drives include software and such that very specifically is to be used to ttranser the OS from an existing mechanical drive to an SSD, and if there really was alot fo issues stemming from the cloning process, they would not have packages like that, simply to eliminate tech support costs. While not the optimal option, cloning is NOT a bad thing, as long as you take the nessecary steps.

 

GNU GRUB version 2.02 error

Hi Farah,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Gnu GRUB is not a Microsoft product, that is a bootloader for Linux, do you have a Linux OS installed on your PC?
